I was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer and learning about genomic tests like Decipher that can help guide treatment decisions. From what I understand, this test looks at 22 genes in the cancer tissue to better understand how aggressive my specific cancer might be. It seems like it provides additional information beyond PSA levels and Gleason scores to help decide between active surveillance, surgery, radiation, or other treatments. The test gives a score that puts patients into low, intermediate, or high risk categories based on the cancer's biology. I'd love to hear from others who have been through this decision-making process. • Did you have genomic testing done, and how did it influence your treatment choice? • What questions did you ask your doctor when deciding between different treatment options? Is there a blood test that will show type of cancer Link: https://outcomes4me.com/article/what-is-the-decipher-test-and-how-does-it-guide-prostate-cancer-treatment/
